#10. One of the main exports is shark fins
#9. There is enough electricity on the entire island of Karawa to fuel 3 US households

#6. Beautiful and also polluted waters
#5. Housemates inclue rats and wild dogs
#4. A majority of the fish here are toxic, and that happens to be the main source of food

#1. It's not a good sign to relieve the post of a malnourished 50 year old woman who hates her job and looks as if she is 65
Now I’m no expert on life in the pacific, or anywhere else in the world for that matter, but Kiribati looks pretty sketchy to me. I think this graphic illustrates how different other cultures in the world can be from ours here in the US. One would have to be desperate, as the author’s girlfriend is, to take a job in an area like this. I didn’t even bother to mention the incompetence of some of the island “employees”, the way in which fecal matter is disposed, or the “B rated” government owned property the author calls “home.”
